Vikas Dubey Encounter Case: Commission Gives Clean Chit To UP Police; Says ‘No Evidence Of Wrongdoing’

In the latest development, the Justice (Retd) BS Chauhan inquiry commission found no evidence of wrongdoing by the Uttar Pradesh Police in the encounter killing of gangster Vikas Dubey and his five associates, reports India Today.

The clean chit by the inquiry commission comes as a huge relief for the UP Cops who were accused of staging the encounter to avenge the killing of eight policemen by Dubey and his associates at Bikru village on 3 July last year.

The commission investigated the case for 8 months and have submitted the report to the UP government. The report will now be submitted to the Supreme Court.

In the report, the commission stated that no eyewitness accounts, whether from the media, citizenry, or even the relatives of Dubey and his killed gang members, were found in the case which could have negated the UP Police's version of events leading to the encounter of the dreaded gangster.
